Horizon Europe is one of the largest international research funding programs in Europe, investing 95.5 billion euros over 7 years from 2021 to 2027. The Republic of Korea was approved as an associate member of the program in 2024, securing eligibility for direct research funding. The Bilateral Exchange session aims to provide an opportunity for Korean and German researchers in spin-based quantum sensing to deepen their understanding of each other’s research area and establish joint research goals through mutual exchange. Based on this, we aim to lay the groundwork for Korea’s participation in the Horizon Europe program starting in 2025.
